Fish bit weird; they would tap, tap, load the rod, and when you picked it up, would stay on for a couple seconds, and then spit the bait. Would have to pick up the bent rod and freespool. They would run about 10 seconds, then be there if you set the hook.
Ended up with 4 fish between us, 3 about 2 pounds, and 1 about 3 pounds. Nice day on the water, but not the limits he had gotten a few days before. Guess that's why it's called fishing!
